***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Burgey]

Was more continuing the joke about the pitch being flat than actually implying batting is easy.

Got more to do with the atmospherics I think. Seems like Headingly. When the sun comes out it gets a fair bit easier.

 

[Zinzan]

Ouch that's changed things......

 

[TumTum]

yessss, into the tail now

 

[morgieb]

lol looks like Pattinson might get another 5-fer.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Didn't play it well, did he? Noting my mental Brownlie file with "potential weakness against short stuff?".

 

[Neil Pickup]

The only runs that have been there on this track all match have been when the bowlers have missed their lengths. 200 could be enough if the Kiwi seamers keep their discipline.

It will be interesting to see what a new ball does in the afternoon. A chance for Aus to win it, I think.

Have a bad feeling about starting our bowling innings in the middle of the day.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Damnit. Into the tail we go.

Come on Southee!

Edit: Bracewell at 9, what?

Ironically, he looked comfortable against the short-one on the more pacey & bouncy Gabba wicket

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Poor Woodster, this is gonna be all over today.

 

[Sylvester]

Very encouraging signs from Pattinson today, still getting wickets on a pitch that has flattened out.

I'm not sure it's flattened out that much at all. Not sure why people keep saying that.

Because it's true. Nothing like the 1st day.

Australia are red hot favourites here. 200 just needs one really good partnership and you're most of the way there.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Just **** off already James Pattinson.

Dynamic.
